JewishGen.org Discussion Group FAQs
What is the JewishGen.org Discussion Group?
The JewishGen.org Discussion Group unites thousands of Jewish genealogical researchers worldwide as they research their family history, search for relatives, and share information, ideas, methods, tips, techniques, and resources. The JewishGen.org Discussion Group makes it easy, quick, and fun, to connect with others around the world.
Is it Secure?
Yes. JewishGen is using a state of the art platform with the most contemporary security standards. JewishGen will never share member information with third parties.
How is the New JewishGen.org Discussion Group better than the old one?
Our old Discussion List platform was woefully antiquated. Among its many challenges: it was not secure, it required messages to be sent in Plain Text, did not support accented characters or languages other than English, could not display links or images, and had archives that were not mobile-friendly.
This new platform that JewishGen is using is a scalable, and sustainable solution, and allows us to engage with JewishGen members throughout the world. It offers a simple and intuitive interface for both members and moderators, more powerful tools, and more secure archives (which are easily accessible on mobile devices, and which also block out personal email addresses to the public).
I am a JewishGen member, why do I have to create a separate account for the Discussion Group?
As we continue to modernize our platform, we are trying to ensure that everything meets contemporary security standards. In the future, we plan hope to have one single sign-in page.
I like how the current lists work. Will I still be able to send/receive emails of posts (and/or digests)?
Yes. In terms of functionality, the group will operate the same for people who like to participate with email. People can still send a message to an email address (in this case, main@groups.JewishGen.org), and receive a daily digest of postings, or individual emails. In addition, Members can also receive a daily summary of topics, and then choose which topics they would like to read about it. However, in addition to email, there is the additional functionality of being able to read/post messages utilizing our online forum (https://groups.jewishgen.org).
Does this new system require plain-text?
No.
Can I post images, accented characters, different colors/font sizes, non-latin characters?
Yes.
Can I categorize a message? For example, if my message is related to Polish, or Ukraine research, can I indicate as such?
Yes! Our new platform allows members to use “Hashtags.” Messages can then be sorted, and searched, based upon how they are categorized. Another advantage is that members can “mute” any conversations they are not interested in, by simply indicating they are not interested in a particular “hashtag.”
Will all posts be archived?
Yes.
Can I still search though old messages?
Yes. All the messages are accessible and searchable going back to 1998.
What if I have questions or need assistance using the new Group?
Send your questions to: support@JewishGen.org
How do I access the Group’s webpage?
Follow this link: https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main
So just to be sure - this new group will allow us to post from our mobile phones, includes images, accented characters, and non-latin characters, and does not require plain text?
Correct!
Will there be any ads or annoying pop-ups?
No.
Will the current guidelines change?
Yes. While posts will be moderated to ensure civility, and that there is nothing posted that is inappropriate (or completely unrelated to genealogy), we will be trying to create an online community of people who regulate themselves, much as they do (very successfully) on Jewish Genealogy Portal on Facebook.
What are the new guidelines?
There are just a few simple rules & guidelines to follow, which you can read here:https://groups.jewishgen.org/g/main/guidelines
Thank you in advance for contributing to this amazing online community!
If you have any questions, or suggestions, please email support@JewishGen.org.
Sincerely,
The JewishGen.org Team

Yizkor Book Project, February 2014
#bessarabia
Lance Ackerfeld <lance.ackerfeld@...>
Shalom,
Although February is a notoriously short month, I was pleased to see great progress made in a number of aspects of the Yizkor Book Project. To begin with, I am pleased to inform you that during the last month, a further project joined the ranks of fully completed translations. This time we saw the culmination of the Grajewo project and I would like to thank the coordinators, Shelly Levin and Evelyn Fine, for their caring and dedication in leading this project through its successful completion. On the horizon, there are a number of other projects that are close to the end and suggest you follow coming reports for similar announcements. February also saw the addition of 3 new Translation Funds which have been set up to allow people interested in financially supporting the professional translation of the following Yizkor books. - Ostrów Mazowiecka, Poland - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine - Telsiai (Telz), Lithuania If you are able to support any of these projects or any of the 75 listed Translation funds listed here: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 you would be doing something very practical and important to allow us to make these books and the treasures they contain, available to researchers worldwide and keep the memories of these communities alive. Lastly, I would like to note our Yizkor Book in Print Project which recently added a further volume to its continually growing library of English translations of our Yizkor book projects. - Shards of Memory: Messages >from the Lost Shtetl of Antopol, Belarus - Translation of the Yizkor (Memorial) Book of the Jewish Community of Antopol In addition, the following book will be available for purchase in the nearest future: - Yizkor (Memorial) Book of Lyubcha and Delyatichi - Translation of Lubtch ve-Delatitch; Sefer Zikaron As I've noted before, I quite often receive queries regarding available books and for those of you who are interested, a full list of the published books appears at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html Now to facts and figures for February. During this last month we have added in 4 new projects: - Cigand, Hungary (About the Jews of Cigand) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/cigand/cigand.html - Lyuboml, Ukraine (Ludvipol (Wolyn); in memory of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lyuboml/lyuboml.html - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine (Ludvipol (Wolyn); in memory of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Ludvipol/Ludvipol.html - Zofyuvka, Ukraine (The tree and the roots; the history of T.L (Sofyovka and Ignatovka)) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zofyuvka/Zofyuvka.html We have continued to update 25 of our existing projects: - Bessarabia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Romania - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_romania/rom2_00279.html - Borsa, Romania (Memorial book of Borsha, or: The beloved village by the foot of the Carpathians) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/borsa/borsa.html - Czyzew, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dabrowa Gornicza, Poland (Book of the Jewish community of Dabrowa Gornicza and its destruction) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dabrowa/dabrowa.html - Disna, Belarus (Disna; memorial book of the community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/disna/disna.html - Dubasari, Moldova (Dubossary Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Dubossary/Dubossary.html - Goniadz, Poland (Our hometown Goniondz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz/goniadz.html - Grajewo, Poland (Grayewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Grajewo/Grajewo.html - Indura, Belarus (Amdur, my hometown) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/indura/indura.html - Jadow, Poland (The Book of Jadow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/jadow/jadow.html - Karelichy, Belarus (Korelitz; the life and destruction of a Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/korelicze/korelicze.html - Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/klobuck/klobuck.html - Kolomyya, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kolomey) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kolomyya/kolomyya.html - Molchad, Belarus (Molchadz, In Memory of the Jewish Community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Molchadz/Molchadz.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Radom, Poland (The book of Radom; the story of a Jewish community in Poland destroyed by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/radom/radom.html - Shumskoye, Ukraine (Szumsk, memorial book of the martyrs of Szumsk) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/szumsk/szumsk.html - Smarhon (Smorgon), Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/stryj2/stryj2.html - Suchowola, Poland (Suchovola Memorial Library of Jewish Communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/suchowola/suchowola.html - Tlumach, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tlumacz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tlumacz/tlumacz.html - Valkininkai, Lithuania (Olkeniki: a Town that Existed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Valkininkai1/Valkininkai1.html - Wasilkow, Poland (The Wasilkower memorial book; memories of our town Wasilkow which has been annihilated by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wasilkow/Wasilkow.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Reasons for Conversion to Catholicism, 1938
#galicia
Orit Lavi
Dear friends,
In one of Galicia's smaller towns, three sisters converted to Catholicism in August 1938 - on the same day. They were born between 1910 - 1915 to a butcher. Their five older siblings, born between 1900 - 1910, did no convert, and three of them married Jewish partners. I would appreciate your insight as to possible reasons for the conversion of the three sisters. Many thanks, Orit Lavi Tsukey Yam, Israel

Dear Caroline!
At present the situation in Lviv is steady. All shops, hotels, restaurants, museums, archives, transport etc are working in their usual mode. At the streets there are no signs of disorder or criminality. For sure people are alarmed by the last events in the Ukraine and especially by the situation in the Krimea, there are meetings and manifestations. But the atmosphere in general is the same as usual - just quiet and without hostility.

Shalom,
Although February is a notoriously short month, I was pleased to see great progress made in a number of aspects of the Yizkor Book Project. To begin with, I am pleased to inform you that during the last month, a further project joined the ranks of fully completed translations. This time we saw the culmination of the Grajewo project and I would like to thank the coordinators, Shelly Levin and Evelyn Fine, for their caring and dedication in leading this project through its successful completion. On the horizon, there are a number of other projects that are close to the end and suggest you follow coming reports for similar announcements. February also saw the addition of 3 new Translation Funds which have been set up to allow people interested in financially supporting the professional translation of the following Yizkor books. - Ostrów Mazowiecka, Poland - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine - Telsiai (Telz), Lithuania If you are able to support any of these projects or any of the 75 listed Translation funds listed here: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 you would be doing something very practical and important to allow us to make these books and the treasures they contain, available to researchers worldwide and keep the memories of these communities alive.

Shalom,
Although February is a notoriously short month, I was pleased to see great progress made in a number of aspects of the Yizkor Book Project. To begin with, I am pleased to inform you that during the last month, a further project joined the ranks of fully completed translations. This time we saw the culmination of the Grajewo project and I would like to thank the coordinators, Shelly Levin and Evelyn Fine, for their caring and dedication in leading this project through its successful completion. On the horizon, there are a number of other projects that are close to the end and suggest you follow coming reports for similar announcements. February also saw the addition of 3 new Translation Funds which have been set up to allow people interested in financially supporting the professional translation of the following Yizkor books. - Ostrów Mazowiecka, Poland - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine - Telsiai (Telz), Lithuania If you are able to support any of these projects or any of the 75 listed Translation funds listed here: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 you would be doing something very practical and important to allow us to make these books and the treasures they contain, available to researchers worldwide and keep the memories of these communities alive. Lastly, I would like to note our Yizkor Book in Print Project which recently added a further volume to its continually growing library of English translations of our Yizkor book projects. - Shards of Memory: Messages >from the Lost Shtetl of Antopol, Belarus - Translation of the Yizkor (Memorial) Book of the Jewish Community of Antopol In addition, the following book will be available for purchase in the nearest future: - Yizkor (Memorial) Book of Lyubcha and Delyatichi - Translation of Lubtch ve-Delatitch; Sefer Zikaron As I've noted before, I quite often receive queries regarding available books and for those of you who are interested, a full list of the published books appears at: http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html Now to facts and figures for February. During this last month we have added in 4 new projects: - Cigand, Hungary (About the Jews of Cigand) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/cigand/cigand.html - Lyuboml, Ukraine (Ludvipol (Wolyn); in memory of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/lyuboml/lyuboml.html - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine (Ludvipol (Wolyn); in memory of the Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Ludvipol/Ludvipol.html - Zofyuvka, Ukraine (The tree and the roots; the history of T.L (Sofyovka and Ignatovka)) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Zofyuvka/Zofyuvka.html We have continued to update 25 of our existing projects: - Bessarabia (Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities in Romania - Volume II) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_romania/rom2_00279.html - Borsa, Romania (Memorial book of Borsha, or: The beloved village by the foot of the Carpathians) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/borsa/borsa.html - Czyzew, Poland (Czyzewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Czyzew/Czyzew.html - Dabrowa Gornicza, Poland (Book of the Jewish community of Dabrowa Gornicza and its destruction) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/dabrowa/dabrowa.html - Disna, Belarus (Disna; memorial book of the community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/disna/disna.html - Dubasari, Moldova (Dubossary Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Dubossary/Dubossary.html - Goniadz, Poland (Our hometown Goniondz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/goniadz/goniadz.html - Grajewo, Poland (Grayewo Memorial Book) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Grajewo/Grajewo.html - Indura, Belarus (Amdur, my hometown) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/indura/indura.html - Jadow, Poland (The Book of Jadow) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/jadow/jadow.html - Karelichy, Belarus (Korelitz; the life and destruction of a Jewish community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/korelicze/korelicze.html - Klobuck, Poland (The Book of Klobucko; in memory of a martyred community which was destroyed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/klobuck/klobuck.html - Kolomyya, Ukraine (Memorial Book of Kolomey) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/kolomyya/kolomyya.html - Molchad, Belarus (Molchadz, In Memory of the Jewish Community) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Molchadz/Molchadz.html - Ozerna, Ukraine (Memorial book of Jezierna) http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/Ozerna/Ozerna.html - Radom, Poland (The book of Radom; the story of a Jewish community in Poland destroyed by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/radom/radom.html - Shumskoye, Ukraine (Szumsk, memorial book of the martyrs of Szumsk) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/szumsk/szumsk.html - Smarhon (Smorgon), Belarus (Smorgonie, District Vilna; memorial book and testimony) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/smorgon/smorgon.html - Stryy, Ukraine (Book of Stryj) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/stryj2/stryj2.html - Suchowola, Poland (Suchovola Memorial Library of Jewish Communities) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/suchowola/suchowola.html - Tlumach, Ukraine (Memorial book of Tlumacz) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/tlumacz/tlumacz.html - Valkininkai, Lithuania (Olkeniki: a Town that Existed) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Valkininkai1/Valkininkai1.html - Wasilkow, Poland (The Wasilkower memorial book; memories of our town Wasilkow which has been annihilated by the Nazis) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/Wasilkow/Wasilkow.html - Zawiercie, Poland (Yizkor Book of the Holy Community of Zawiercie and Environs) http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/zawiercie/zawiercie.html Some important links to note: - This month's additions and updates are flagged at http://www.jewishgen.org/Yizkor/translations.html to make it easy to find them. - All you would like to know about the Yizkor Books in Print Project http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/ybip.html - Yizkor Book Translation Funds http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 where your financial support will assist in seeing more translations go online.

Re: [Wales] Welsh Newspapers Online

Robert Fraser
Dear Readers
Many thanks to Jan Allen for informing readers of this valuable new online resource. Whilst Wales does not now have a large Jewish population, prior to WW2, it was a sizable and thriving one. The town in which I was born, Merthyr Tydfil, had a large and elaborate synagogue founded in 1875; also the only dedicated Jewish cemetery outside the capital city of Cardiff. Many Jewish refugees came to Wales, both prior to WW1 to escape the pogroms, and prior to WW2 to escape the nazis. For those interested, more information may be found at: http://www.jewishgen.org/jcr-uk/Wales.htm Robert Fraser Perth, Western Australia (ex-Merthyr Tydfil) From: Jan Meisels Allen [mailto:janmallen@...] While Wales does not have a large Jewish population, I was surprised when I tried the word "Jewish" and several "Jewish sounding" names in the search engine for Welsh Newspapers Online with the thousands of hits that were returned.

Yizkor Book Project, February 2014

Shalom,
Although February is a notoriously short month, I was pleased to see great progress made in a number of aspects of the Yizkor Book Project. To begin with, I am pleased to inform you that during the last month, a further project joined the ranks of fully completed translations. This time we saw the culmination of the Grajewo project and I would like to thank the coordinators, Shelly Levin and Evelyn Fine, for their caring and dedication in leading this project through its successful completion. On the horizon, there are a number of other projects that are close to the end and suggest you follow coming reports for similar announcements. February also saw the addition of 3 new Translation Funds which have been set up to allow people interested in financially supporting the professional translation of the following Yizkor books. - Ostrów Mazowiecka, Poland - Sosnove (Ludvipol), Ukraine - Telsiai (Telz), Lithuania If you are able to support any of these projects or any of the 75 listed Translation funds listed here: http://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen-erosity/v_projectslist.asp?project_cat=23 you would be doing something very practical and important to allow us to make these books and the treasures they contain, available to researchers worldwide and keep the memories of these communities alive.
